We have some big events as we wrap up the semester -- starting MONDAY with a holiday concert, the Theology Pub on Tuesday, worship this Wednesday in SUB1 room B, and then worship next week at the Mathy House (home of President and Mrs. Merten). We are also working on scheduling an evening of caroling at a local retirement home during finals week, so stay tuned.
BIBLE STUDY: "Family Time" will be on hiatus until next semester due to some scheduling conflicts. Let Emma (443-621-7387) or Ben (703-829-0220) know if you are interested and we'll try to find a time that will work for you next semester.
DECK THE HALLS - HOLIDAY CONCERT AND TOY DRIVE: Rock the Halls with Holiday music and collect toys for children associated with Fairfax's Katherine K. Hanley Family Shelter at the same time. 6-9pm on Monday 11/30. Let Rachael <rachael.m.dickson@gmail.com> know if you'd be interested in playing one or many songs fitting in with the holiday/Christmas/winter theme. Facebook event.
THEOLOGY PUB: We'll gather at the RATHSKELLER in the lower level of SUB1 to eat, drink, and talk about God, faith, religion, and how they intersect life in our world. This is a safe, open conversation. We want to hear *your* perspectives. ALL are welcome, so bring a friend, order yourself dinner, and join in the conversation! 5:15pm on Tuesday 12/1/2009.
AIDS Quilt on WORLD AIDS DAY: World AIDS Day is Dec. 1 and 500 volunteers are needed that day, and the days before and after to set up and take down and guard the 100+ memorial AIDS quilts. Let me know if you are interested in helping between Nov. 30th - Dec. 2nd.
KIOSKS: Rachael has scheduled a number of kiosks in the JC over the next couple few weeks to advertise the holiday concert (see below) we are co-sporing, to sell holiday cookies to raise money toward toys for children at the Katherine K Hanley Family Shelter, and to advertise other LCM events. If you'd like to help out, contact Rachael <rachael.m.dickson@gmail.com> or show up at any of these times: 11/30 (1-4pm, especially from 3pm-4pm) Kiosk C; 12/1 (2-5pm) Kiosk C; 12/2 (8-11am) Kiosk B; 12/3 (2-4:30pm) Kiosk B; 12/4 (1-5pm) Kiosk C.

God Almighty, we wait as patiently as we can, doing what we can to do our part in helping to restore all things. Yet is it only in you that this will come to completion. We pray, come Lord Jesus, come. AMEN.
Grace and peace,
Ben
